Multiplication Processes in High-Density H-¹¹B Fusion Fuel

α-particle multiplication factor via suprathermal protons as a function of the initial α-energy, for different values of T_e at a fixed n_e (a), and of n_e at a fixed T_e (b). In (a), T_e values (in keV) are indicated next to the curves; is the complete α-p elastic scattering cross section, accounting also for the nuclear interaction. In (b), γ is the boron-to-proton ion concentration. Republished from Belloni [5]. © IOP Publishing Ltd. 2021.
